Ameesha Patel on fans wanting her to get married to Salman Khan

When quizzed funnily about her and Salman Khan both being bachelors, Ameesha said, “Fans actually have raised this question to me recently on Ask Amy Twitter chat. They’re like okay he is so eligible, you’re so eligible, you’re so good-looking, please get married to have good-looking babies.” The Race 2 actress giggled and continued, “And I was like wow, that’s a great reason. I think the world likes seeing beautiful people come together. They wanted to see me and Hrithik come together post Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai. And when he announced his marriage, they were heartbroken. They were like, no this can’t happen.”

Ameesha further stated, “The beauty is, when your characters on the screen mean so much to people off-screen that they want this to happen in reality, you’ve done a good job. It’s a testimony to your work that you could convincingly script through good performances, through great chemistry, that you know this couple belong to each other.”
